About Product: President Russell M. Nelson recently voiced a concern that “too many of our brothers and sisters do not fully understand the concept of priesthood power and authority. I fear that too many of our brothers and sisters do not grasp the privileges that could be theirs.”

Some are surprised to learn that priesthood authority, privileges, and power apply to women as well as men. On the other hand, many women feel undervalued, voiceless, and marginalized regarding the priesthood. Our limited understanding and frustration often stems from the priesthood being taught too narrowly.

The Priesthood Power of Women relies on the standard works and teachings of the living prophets to help all members, especially women, more fully understand God’s power and take full advantage of the powers, blessings, and privileges available to them in this mortal journey by

• clarifying truth regarding the priesthood, for both men and women,
• further expanding our knowledge of the priesthood, and
• strengthening and empowering us as we seek to better fulfill our priesthood responsibilities and make full use of priesthood privileges.
